Okay, so I just don't get lip augmentation. Maybe it's because I have pretty nice lips and I've never had to give them much thought. Or maybe it's because most of the "augmented" lips I've seen either look like the poor victim's mouth was mounted upside down, or they just plain look diseased. Take this ad I've seen all over the internet:
This poor woman. Every time I see this picture, I never think, "Oh, what sexy lips." I think, "Dear Lord! What happened to her upper lip?!? Her mouth is installed upside down!"
Here is another one who looks like her upper lip got slammed in a door. Actually, it might be the same woman.
Then we have these, in the category of lips that look diseased:
How can something that looks permanently infected be considered sexy? They even refer to this as the "bee-stung" look. First the models had to be so skinny that they fall into 3 categories: famine victims, anorexics, and meth addicts. Then they all started injecting their faces with botulism. Now even our lips are supposed to look like they've been infected with insect venom. The perfect hollywood woman has an eating disorder, a drug addiction, insect-bitten lips, and a face paralyzed by botulism.
Here are some ideas for the next fashion trends:
Toenail Fungus Pedicures
Eyelid Tumor Implants
Poison Ivy Facials
